Overview
The VP-8x8TP is a high performance 8x8 computer graphics video and audio
matrix switcher for high resolution video and stereo audio signals. The VP-8x8TP
is HDTV compatible and lets you route any combination of inputs and outputs over
TP (Twisted Pair) cable to compatible TP receivers.
In particular, the VP-8x8TP 8x8 UXGA/Audio Matrix Switcher features:
• Kramer’s innovative integrated sync processing Kr-isp
®
technology that lets
you achieve a sharp, stable image when the sync level is too low, by restoring
the sync signal waveform
• Resolution up to UXGA (1600 x 1200), 1080p
• Support for component video with suitable breakout cables
• 16 preset memory locations for quick access to common video and audio
configurations and audio gain status for each output
• Automatic detection of the connected input signals (the respective button
lights)
• A delayed switching mode (ranging from 0 to 3.5sec
• DC-coupled video inputs and outputs
) for clean transitions
(seamless switching) when switching between non-genlocked sources
• Audio-follow-video and breakaway options
• Eight stereo unbalanced audio input signals on 3.5mm mini jacks
• Eight RJ-45 STP/UTP output connectors
• Over 100m (330ft) transmission range between the switcher and the TP
receiver
• Audio level control buttons for adjusting the signal level of each input
• Measurement and indication of the audio level for each input and output, in
relative dB
• A TAKE button, which allows you to place multiple switches in a queue and
then activate them simultaneously with one touch of this button
• A LOCK button to prevent tampering with the front panel
The VP-8x8TP can be controlled using the front panel buttons, or remotely via:
• RS-485 or RS-232 serial commands (using Kramer 2000 and 3000 Protocols)
transmitted by a touch screen system, PC, or other serial controller
• The Kramer infrared remote control transmitter or infrared remote extension
cable transmitter (optional)
• A Web browser over Ethernet
The VP-8x8TP is dependable, rugged, and fits into one vertical space (1U) of a
standard 19” professional rack.
